Viva La Vida

A shamelessly overt rip off of the Coldplay song of the same title. In fact, it is that very song which resonates vibrantly and gleefully in my mind as I type this. It's Friday evening and after a cool glass of white wine, I am in the mood to relax and unwind.

The past couple of days have been a whirlwind. I can hardly believe it myself and know that I would have risen a skeptical eyebrow if someone were to tell me that working from home was tough.

I started working from home yesterday. It's a lot more intense than I thought it would be. Being mindful of the privilege and not wanting it taken away from me, I stay logged in way past the "regular business hours" mark. It was 10:30pm and there I was, being the proverbial "keener" (a nickname given to me by ex-colleagues), I was still researching ideas and sending emails.

I know that I can't forget the rest of my life which is why it's good that I have this blog to keep me accountable. I can see my propensity for excess and will work on controlling that urge. Which brings me to Viva La Vida. To truly embody the live life motto, I will maintain a balance. If I'm to log in for 8:30am-4:30pm then I'll do so but after that, it's goodbye. After all, I may miss out on a lot of vida if I stay chained to a PC.
